Look if you’re going to make a prequel to Stephen King’s It, the only time to release is is in October. That’s when the new series It: Welcome to Derry, premieres on HBO Max. Based on King’s concepts and developed by much of the same team behind the two recent It movies, it (sorry) takes place in the early 1960s and reveals a previous altercation between an earlier generation of kids and Pennywise the evil clown. (Bill Skarsgard will reprise his role from the films as well.) Guessing it goes great for all involved and nothing terrifying happens at all!
Okay, so if the real world these days is scary enough already without a TV show about a demonic clown, HBO and HBO Max also have The Chair Company, a new series from Tim Robinson. Otherwise … yeah, this is Halloween season on streaming. It’s all about horror. HBO Max will also get the streaming premiere of the recent A24 film Bring Her Back, plus a host of classic horror titles, including the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise, The Exorcist, and a bunch of Halloween and Insidious movies.
Here’s everything coming to HBO Max in October…
